Installation In
7 Easy Steps
1. Remove the TWIST
II
CLEAN
from its box. Check to make
sure the box also contains a
small dispenser of Teflon tape
and two slip/threaded adapters
for use if needed.
2. Be sure the clear bowl is
securely tightened (hand tighten
only). The unit is shipped with
the bowl loose. Lift the red
safety latch and rotate the top
handle a few times to make
sure it will rotate
1/4
clockwise
turn.
3. Prepare the piping manifold
to install TWIST
II
CLEAN.
Select the best fittings for
your installation, using slip
or threaded fittings as desired.
Notice the direction of water
flow through the unit -- a flow
direction arrow is molded into
the side of the unit. (Fig A).
4. Use proper PVC solvents and
follow gluing instructions on solvent container. Do not
spill solvent on any part of the TWIST
II
CLEAN unit.
5. Mounting eyelets provide for a more stable installation (Fig
B). Stabilizer bolts are recommended for long term stability
of your TWIST
II
CLEAN. Use ⅜" Hex Lag Screws plus
washers and PVC pipe to connect to a secure surface.
These parts are NOT supplied with your TWIST
II
CLEAN.
6. Once installed, test by turning water supply on slowly,
allowing water to feed through the unit. Check for
leaks. After lifting the safety latch, twist the top handle
with a ¼ clockwise turn to re-direct the flow for cleaning.
This should lift the screen element inside the bowl and
release flush water through the Purge Exit at the bottom of
the unit. Twist the handle back to its “run” position, lower
the safety latch and check for leaks.
7. Attach a flush drain hose (if necessary) to direct the
purged particle matter and excess water to a drain or other
desired area for discharge (Fig C).
A. Select a good filter location:
Install on the pressure (outlet) side of any pumps and
pressure tanks
In a vertical position with Purge Exit pointing down
Away from extreme weather conditions to protect
from freezing
At least 12 inches away from walls or obstructions,
so top handle can be twisted
Allow enough clearance beneath the unit to:
(a) attach a purge drain hose to the Purge Exit
(recommended)
(b) remove the clear bowl assembly, to allow
replacement of element as needed
B. As a sunny outdoor installation might lead to algae
growth inside the clear bowl and affect the operation
of your TWIST
II
CLEAN, an optional Sun Shield is
available.
